46 /*
47 * 2006-10-26 Include stddef.h on OS X to work around one of its bugs.
48 * Reported by Michael_G_Schwern.
49 * 2006-11-26 Use _setjmp instead of setjmp on GNU/Linux.
50 * 2007-04-27 Set unwind frame info if gcc 3+ and ELF is detected.
51 * Use _setjmp instead of setjmp on _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600.
52 * 2007-05-02 Add assembly versions for x86 and amd64 (to avoid reliance
53 * on SIGUSR2 and sigaltstack in Crossfire).
54 * 2008-01-21 Disable CFI usage on anything but GNU/Linux.
55 * 2008-03-02 Switched to 2-clause BSD license with GPL exception.
56 * 2008-04-04 New (but highly unrecommended) pthreads backend.
57 * 2008-04-24 Reinstate CORO_LOSER (had wrong stack adjustments).
58 * 2008-10-30 Support assembly method on x86 with and without frame pointer.
59 * 2008-11-03 Use a global asm statement for CORO_ASM, idea by pippijn.
60 * 2008-11-05 Hopefully fix misaligned stacks with CORO_ASM/SETJMP.
61 * 2008-11-07 rbp wasn't saved in CORO_ASM on x86_64.
62 * introduce coro_destroy, which is a nop except for pthreads.
63 * speed up CORO_PTHREAD. Do no longer leak threads either.
64 * coro_create now allows one to create source coro_contexts.
65 * do not rely on makecontext passing a void * correctly.
66 * try harder to get _setjmp/_longjmp.
67 * major code cleanup/restructuring.

76 * Changes since API version 1:

80 /*
81 * This library consists of only three files
82 * coro.h, coro.c and LICENSE (and optionally README)
83 *
84 * It implements what is known as coroutines, in a hopefully
85 * portable way. At the moment you have to define which kind
86 * of implementation flavour you want:
87 *
88 * -DCORO_UCONTEXT
89 *
90 * This flavour uses SUSv2's get/set/swap/makecontext functions that
91 * unfortunately only newer unices support.
92 *
93 * -DCORO_SJLJ
94 *
95 * This flavour uses SUSv2's setjmp/longjmp and sigaltstack functions to
96 * do it's job. Coroutine creation is much slower than UCONTEXT, but
97 * context switching is often a bit cheaper. It should work on almost
98 * all unices.
99 *
100 * -DCORO_LINUX
101 *
102 * Old GNU/Linux systems (<= glibc-2.1) only work with this implementation
103 * (it is very fast and therefore recommended over other methods, but
104 * doesn't work with anything newer).
105 *
106 * -DCORO_LOSER
107 *
108 * Microsoft's highly proprietary platform doesn't support sigaltstack, and
109 * this automatically selects a suitable workaround for this platform.
110 * (untested)
111 *
112 * -DCORO_IRIX
113 *
114 * SGI's version of Microsoft's NT ;)
115 *
116 * -DCORO_ASM
117 *
118 * Handcoded assembly, known to work only on a few architectures/ABI:
119 * ELF Linux x86 && amd64 when gcc is used and optimisation is turned on.
120 *
121 * -DCORO_PTHREAD
122 *
123 * Use the pthread API. You have to provide <pthread.h> and -lpthread.
124 *
125 * If you define neither of these symbols, coro.h will try to autodetect
126 * the model. This currently works for CORO_LOSER only. For the other
127 * alternatives you should check (e.g. using autoconf) and define the
128 * following symbols: HAVE_UCONTEXT_H / HAVE_SETJMP_H / HAVE_SIGALTSTACK.

148 * Allocating/deallocating the stack is your own responsibility.
